Our Amazing Mothers

This week in honor of Mother's Day (Sunday, May 8), photographs have been popping up on Facebook pages of my childhood friends and schoolmates. For the first time, I am getting to see their mothers--Pearl, Florence and Elaine-- as young women. To add to the parade of those captured on film as forever young, I'd like to add my mother, Lillian Edwards. 

Share a picture of your mother, mentor or important women in your life on my Facebook Author's Page . I'll be there to greet her.

You can read a Knitter's Portrait of my mother on Lion Brand Yarn Company's website. A longer version is in A Knitter's Home Companion.

I write and illustrate stories for children and adults. My stories are about family, friendship, knitting, and community. They chronicle the large and small victories and defeats of everyday life.
